University of Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway is preparing for the worst.
While a possible two-year, 7 percent budget crunch for state universities isnt set in stone, Hemenway said he wants to gird the university for some rocky times.
On July 14, KU budget director Duane Goossen asked state colleges and universities to prepare a list of possible cuts. Higher education officials were asked to prepare for two scenarios: a possible 2 percent cut this year and a possible 5 percent cut the next. For KU, thats an estimated $14.7 million out of its coffers.
This is difficult, Hemenway said after the Aug

She said a shelter is set to open at the Multipurpose Center in Hattiesburg at noon.
The shelters, Vannatta said, are serving people from the Gulf Coast (and) some from Louisiana.
She said some residents living in mobile homes or low-lying areas chose to wait out the storm in a shelter.
Preparations allow residents to relax during storm
Residents on East Laurel Avenue in Hattiesburg are porch sitting today, watching the entertaining show Mother Nature is providing them.
Renee Bounds, 38, had company after she invited her mobile home-dwelling friends Barsalona Lakes, 45, and her son Will, 19, over from Petal on Friday.
Trees along the side of her house posed the biggest storm concern for Bounds, who said she just finished her Hurricane Katrina repairs. However, she said she doesnt think Hurricane Gustav will be too bad here in the Pine Belt.
Whatever happens is the good Lords will, she said.
Meanwhile, Councilwoman Deborah Denard Delgado said she feels good about the way the Hub City has prepared for Gustav.
Her biggest concern was flash flooding. However, after speaking with Bennie Sellers, the city engineer, Delgado said she feels much better about the citys preparedness than even a year ago.
She also encouraged her constituents to stick close to home. Residents who live in unsound structures should ride out the storm at the homes of family and friends, she said.
Shelter food gets a touch of New Orleans
The 770 evacuees in the Magnolia Center shelter here may not have all the comforts of home, but theyll likely have an interesting dinner tonight.
New Orleans pastry chef Andr Baird is going to help prepare dinner.
He came up and volunteered his services and we said heck, yeah, said American Red Cross volunteer Tom Palmquist of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Its unclear what Baird might be able to serve. It depends on whats in the kitchen.
One evacuee who may not be at dinner is Mark Flippen, 51, a retired Biloxi police officer.
He and his family were packing up their belongings at the shelter and planned to leave this morning, but not after stopping in Hattiesburg for some shopping.
Were headed back to Biloxi, he said.
The shelter is at maximum capacity of 770 evacuees. That doesnt count the more than 100 dogs and cats in the kennel area and one fish.
Pets are family, too, said shelter manager JoAnne Bush
